And with Oldsmobile power, too. I saw that article the other day. Dude spent a lot of time and effort to implement some highly questionable desires.

a lot of time and effort to implement some highly questionable desires.

That might just be Oppo’s mission statement right there.

Clearly nobody told him about the magic of snow tires

Ok, fair point. But I’d like to think we would convert a FWD car to RWD rather than vice versa.

That’s fantastic. I suppose there was a time when AWD wasn’t a thing for sports cars, and this was almost a legitimate solution.

Sorry, it wasn’t a counterpoint or critique. Just seemed fitting :)

I’d imagine ‘ 80s snow tires were probably much crappier than today.

Lol- oh you’re very right. I just don’t understand that guy - but I think he did it during the 1980s, when we all thought RWD was dying.

Looks like 88 or so is when he started it. I don’t really understand his reasons either. That’s a lot of work just because you want better traction in the winter.

I suspect that it was more about the journey than the destination kind of thing. To have something unique.
